live from london. this is bbc news. two people are dead and hundreds have been arrested in the french capital, after paris saint germain's victory in the champions league final. medics in gaza say at least 26 palestinians have been killed by israeli fire near a us-backed aid distribution centre in rafah. the uk to build new weapons factories. the defense secretary says its a "message to moscow". some breaking news this hour. two people have died and 559 arrested during champions league final celebrations in paris.

this comes after paris saint germain won their first ever european champions league football final - soundly beating inter milan 5-0 in munich. with more on this, i'm joined by nicky schiller. bring us up-to-date on what the french authorities are saying. the interior ministry have confirmed two people have died and 192 others have been injured during those celebrations, as you say, after paris saint-germain won that champions league trophy final against inter milan in munich. the two people who died, the authorities are telling us it is a 17-year-old boy who was stabbed in the chest in the town of dax during those celebrations. the other person to die, a 23-year-old man was driving a scooter through central paris and was hit by a car. the prosecutors office say the driver was detained but that they tested negative for

drugs and also alcohol. now we know that there were a number of clashes in the centre of paris and indeed 559 people have been detained. flares were set off, fireworks as well and 22 police officers were injured. now one of those police officers is in an induced coma. local media are reporting that he was hit in the eye by one of those fireworks. we have also seen a number of cars burnt out in paris and the interior ministry giving us figures, saying there were 692 fires, of which there were 264 in vehicles. so it gives you a sense of the scale of the number of fires that were lit during those demonstrations after that win. we also know that the number of shops were attacked, indeed 30 people detained around a footlocker store in central paris. the authorities have

been responding. the mayor of dax, where that young teenage boy was stabbed to death, said his thoughts are with the young victim, his family and friends. he went on to say, "we are flawed by all the drama tonight. it is advisable to quickly shed light on these events to severely punish the perpetrator." so the authorities, as i said, detaining a number of people, 559 arrested during the incidents in paris. we have seen water cannon being used and riot police on the streets. we know there were around 5400 officers who were deployed in case there was any trouble last night. when it comes to the teams, samantha, they are back in paris this afternoon and we are expecting a victory parade through the centre of paris, and of course i would imagine there will be a lot of police out on the streets there to police that event, when tens of

thousands of psg fans are expected. we are also expecting president macron to welcome the victorious team back in paris a little later today as well. ok, thank you. we are also expecting an update from the french authorities about those incidents last night and the death of two people and the arrests of many hundreds. we will bring you that news conference live as soon as it comes into us. now to the middle east. local medics and residents in gaza say at least 26 palestinians have been killed and many more wounded after israeli tankfire reportedly hit people near a us funded aid distribution centre in the southern city of rafah. these images - which came into the bbc in the last hour - appear to show people injured in the incident being rushed to nasser hospital. a local journalist told the bbc thousands of people had gathered near the us-funded aid point when israeli tanks opened fire. the idf as responded saying

it's currently unaware of injuries caused by idf fire, but that the matter is still under review. the reported incident comes hours after hopes for a new ceasefire and hostage release deal in gaza again faded, with hamas and israel remaining at odds over the conditions of the latest us-backed proposal. hamas - which is a proscribed terror organisation in the us, uk and eu - repeated its demands for a permanent truce, a complete israeli withdrawal from gaza and guarantees for the continuous flow of humanitarian aid. none of these are in the deal on the table. let me bring you a little update we have from the israel defense forces, saying its troops have eliminated dozens of terrorist and dismantled apparently 100 terrorist infrastructure targets in khan younis. earlier, i spoke to our middle east regional editor, sebastian usher, who hast this update. this incident happened early in the morning, around 4.30am local time when, as you were saying in your introduction,

thousands of palestinians were once again gathered near an aid distribution centre set up by this us-funded group, the gaza humanitarian foundation. and what we've been hearing from different sources is that a number of people, you quoted there from medics, at least 26 people, palestinians killed, and more than 100 wounded - some of them seriously. now, eyewitnesses, a palestinian journalist that spoke to the bbc, said that israeli tank fire was responsible. we don't have images of that, we don't know that for sure. but this is what people who were there at the time are saying. we've contacted the israeli army for a comment. what they've said so far is that the idf is currently unaware of injuries caused by idf fire within the humanitarian aid distribution site, and saying the matter is still under review. the gaza humanitarian foundation also hasn't given us, as yet, any clear

information from their side of what happened. but we have seen incidents over the past few days, since this new mechanism was set up, of there being mass casualty incidents amongst the thousands of palestinians who've gone to these distribution centres in desperate search for food, for supplies. sebastian, do we know how much aid is getting in? we know it's a desperate situation and this new mechanism is in place, but how much is getting through to the people who so desperately need it? well, the figures we're hearing from the gaza humanitarian foundation, are saying that millions of individual meals have been delivered over the past few days. we were hearing in the first two or three days of the operation, that 100 trucks or so were going in. they've said that has now increased. we don't know the exact numbers.

we don't have a clear indication from on the ground, but this is what we're hearing from the gaza humanitarian foundation. the foundation has also taken to task the media for suggesting that incidents like what appears to have happened this morning are being overstated. we'll have to see from that what the ghf says about this latest incident. but we're still essentially getting, from un aid agencies, other aid agencies, a sense that they believe that some of the chaos, some of the casualties that there have been over the past few days wouldn't necessarily have happened if they had still been in control. their criticism has been that, you know, they are aid agencies, but have been involved in this distribution for years, and that changing the system in such a time of crisis within gaza, with people in such a desperate state, is not conducive to the best outcome for gazans themselves. and also, that it has the potential of forcing

palestinians there into smaller and smaller areas where the aid distribution is taking place. sebastian usher in jerusalem there. a british man has been accused of plotting to smuggle american military technology to china. 63-year-old john miller faces extradition to the us following his arrest in serbia. our correspondent sean dilley is outside the us embassy in cental london. sean, what more can you tell us? isn't it quite an intriguing story that everybody the world over is watching but it emanates with the department of justice from the united states, and in california. because a british national, 63-year-old john miller, who is linked to an address in kent, he runs businesses from that address but is also a permanent resident of the united states, is accused alongside a chinese national, of conspiring, of working together to unlawfully export military equipment from the united states to china. to

give you a sense that this, is, we're talking missiles, drones, air defence radar system and interestingly, it is alleged in a court, judges if you like old indictments, literally saying what the charges are, that what they did want to do, bear with me, very loud helicopter flying over the top of us now. so in the assumption you can still hear is, the allegation is they wanted to use a food blender and other electronic devices to smuggle a bit of kit that encrypts and decrypts sensitive information. these are quite serious charges, they face up to 20 years for these offences alone. but separately, both of the arrested men who have been arrested in serbia and they are waiting for the united states to seek their extradition, that could take up to three months we believe for them to come to california. they are both accused of stalking and harassing people who were protesting against the president of china, people who

were opposed to the people's republic of china. they are accused of tracking their car with electronic devices and slashing tyres and for those offences they could also receive fairly lengthy prison sentences. in summary, what has and hasn't happened? in california, the district attorney's office in central california has gone do what they call a grand jury. these are volunteers, anything up to 23 people. they have said to them, do you think there is enough evidence here to say that these men might possibly be worth putting these charges to any court of law? so nobody is found guilty of anything at the moment. certainly the bureau of investigation have accused them of being in conversation and collaboration with two people who are under the direction of the federal bureau of investigation. they paid allegedly $36,000, about £27,000, to get them to harass people who are opposed to the chinese authorities. so all of

this now needs to play out in the court system within california. but for the moment, we are keeping an eye on serbia and what happens at those extradition proceedings, with these two men who have been in custody there for the past two months. sean dilley, thank you. now it's time for a look at today's sport with chetan. you've been hearing on bbc news about violence in paris - it follows psg's win in the champions league final in munich on saturday night - a 5-0 victory over inter milan which ensured they are champions of europe for the first time in the club's history. it was a near perfect peformance from luis enrique's young side. achraf hakimi giving them the lead after just 12 minutes. not long after, they were in total control - 19-year-old desire doue doubling their lead. the teenager added his second after the hour-mark, before kvaratskhelia here made it 4-0 with less

than 20 minutes to go. but there was still time for psg to add a fifth - a moment 19-year-old frenchman senny mayulu could barely believe. 5-0 is the biggest winning margin in the history of the competition. sunday's last 16 matches are under way at rolland garos with a place in the quarter finals of the french open up for grabs. these the first three matches on chatrier. jasmine paolini has taken the first set against elina svitolina. she reached the final in paris last year as well as the wimbledon final. 1-1 in the second set. and eleanor rybakina in action later and carlos alcaraz in action later against ben shelton.

after their huge win in the series opener at edgbaston on thursday - england are back at it again - playing west indies in their second one day international. this time they're in cardiff. jamie overton broke his finger in the first match so is out of this one. england won the toss and put the windies into bat. you can see they have made a strong start so far, england. they, by the looks of it, 10- to it says after the first couple of overs. basketball next - indiana pacers beat the new york knicks 125-108 in game six to reach the nba finals for only the second time in franchise history. pascal siakam scoring 31 points for the pacers on a night where he was voted eastern conference finals mvp, tyrese haliburton also impressed scoring 21 points and assisting 13. they will go onto face oklahoma city thunder in the nba finals which begin on thursday. it is a special feeling, a special feeling to do it with this group. we did the same

last year but fell short and now we worked our tails off as a group to get back here. it has been a bumpy road with our start. just really proud of the resilience of this group, so many different guys chipping in. we have been through so much this year and we just kept pushing. i am just really proud of this group. british rider simon yates will win the giro d'italia later on sunday after a stunning performance on the penultimate stage. all the drama happened on the colle delle finestre - the same climb that seven years ago saw yates implode and lose over 38 minutes to eventual winner chris froome. this time around, he attacked leader isaac del toro to turn an 81 second deficit into an advantage of nearly four minutes. sunday's final stage is a largely processional route around rome. it will be his second grand tour title. in a few hours, mclaren's oscar piastri will

start the spanish grand prix in pole position after his stunning lap in qualifying put him ahead of his teammate lando norris. world champion max verstappen third. there's more on that on the bbc sport website and a quick correction, west indies against england, 10-1. more for you later. that is all the sport for now. china has protested to washington over comments by the us defence secretary, pete hegseth. it's after he said china was rehearsing for a potential invasion of taiwan - which beijing regards as part of its territory. the chinese foreign ministry said the us should not "play with fire" or try to use taiwan as a bargaining chip to contain beijing. pete hegseth made the comments at the shangri-la dialogue - a major defence gathering in singapore. the chinese embassy in singapore claimed the us was actually the biggest troublemaker in the region. earlier, i spoke to our security correspondent, frank gardner, about those comments from the us defence secretary. well, he gave a very robust,

i think, is the politest word you could put for it - some would say confrontational speech here - which was much awaited by all the delegates. this is asia's biggest defence and security forum here in singapore. and he basically... his message was "back off, china, don't even think of attacking taiwan." remember that china has said that it views taiwan as a renegade province, and it's vowed to retake it, in its words, by force if necessary. what pete hegseth, the us defense secretary, said is they are watching very real rehearsals by china for invading, occupying, taking taiwan and that this would be a huge mistake - that if they did this, he said, it would have devastating consequences, not just for taiwan and this whole asia pacific area, but for the whole world. and china's reaction took a few hours, but it's been absolutely vitriolic. first, the embassy here - the chinese embassy in singapore - put out a communique saying that this was provocative

and instigation, they put it, and that the real - as you mentioned - the real troublemakers in the region with the us, and then later the chinese ministry put out an angry statement, as well, saying this was vilifying china. the fact is, the chinese are not here. they were last year. every defence minister from major countries in the region and in europe are all here. china isn't. so they've missed a trick by not being here to defend their patch. that said, i think, in the big tussle between the us and china for strategic influence and strategic power in this part of the world, the us has lost quite a bit of ground with this whole tariff business, because that shook nations in this part of the world, and china's been able to capitalise on that by saying, "do you really want to trust a country that whacks on multiple tariffs one minute, then takes them off the next and then puts them back on again?" you know, "we're all about stability in the people's republic of china." you know, "whatever you think of our policies or politics, we're here to stay and

we are stability." so that message i think has gone it's gone quite deep. frank gardner there. i want to update you on one of our top stories. reports from israel regarding, from gaza rather, regarding a number of deaths there. we actually are just waiting for a response on that, after reports that an aid delivery had been targeted and that many people had been killed. we will bring you more on that a little later, though. the government is to spend £1.5 billion building at least six new munitions factories - to boost the uk's arsenal of long-range weapons. the investment forms part of the strategic defence review - to be published tomorrow - setting out a new plan for the armed forces. ministers say more than a thousand jobs will be created. earlier, i spoke to our political correspondent, harry farley. i asked him how important this review was. a very significant review, not just of the threats the uk faces,

but how the uk should structure and spend the money allocated to defence to respond to those threats. we had john healey, the defence secretary, out this morning. he said that that review would send a message to moscow. and he had this stark warning. russia is attacking the uk daily, as part of 90,000 attacks we get that are linked to different states on our defence system in cyberspace. it's one of the reasons that we're acting already, and we're putting an extra billion into create a new cyber command and to link our armed forces with the digital connections that make them more effective in the future. so we're in a world that is changing now. we've got to respond. and it is a world of growing threats. it's growing russian aggression. and he said the uk needed to be prepared for war in order to secure peace, and needed to be ready to fight. but he was asked as well about whether troop numbers, overall troop

numbers would go up. he said that he'd managed to make some progress in addressing the shortfall with more people leaving the army than joining. he said they made some progress with that, but actually said troop numbers wouldn't start to go up again until the next parliament. so i guess the question is, will all of this be enough? i think it's a good question, one that plenty of senior military figures are asking. there will be a meeting later this month for nato countries, where we're expecting them to raise the target for how much the country should spend on defence. and it's certainly a point that the conservatives are asking. the shadow justice secretary, robert jenrick, said the government needed to go further. we live in a dangerous world. it's absolutely right that we invest more in defence. it's good that there's this commitment to 2.5%. i think we should go further. we want to see 3% reach in this parliament. nine years is a long time to wait. if you think the country should be on a war footing, as the prime minister has said. there is no firm

commitment from the treasury. and you've got rachel reeves, a chancellor who has broken promise after promise after promise over the last nine months. so why would we trust her to keep a promise that's nine years away? so robert jenrick there saying the government needs to go further. i think it's worth putting all this in context. if the government did hit that ambition that they have to spend 3% of our gdp, the overall value of our goods and services on defence, that would cost an extra £17 billion by 2030. so these are vast sums, and it's all in the context of other government departments, other government ministers, trying to haggle and negotiate with the treasury over how much they will have for their departments and the areas that they're working on. that was harry farley. to russia now, where there are reports of several fatalities after two seperate incidents near the border with ukraine in which bridges have collapsed. in the bryansk region,

in the east of klimova, the region's governor said at least seven people were killed, and more than 20 remain hospitalised. moscow officials shared an image appearing to show the collapse, which has not been verified by the bbc. it's thought that several heavy trucks fell onto a moving passenger train when the bridge collapsed. the train's driver is believed to be among the dead. our diplomatic correspondent paul adams had this update. two incidents inside russia, both not that far from the ukrainian border, 100 kilometres or so. one you just referred to in the briasco region and another to the south in the kursk region, both involving trains. the first incident, the most serious incident, involved a passenger train bound for moscow that seems to have ploughed into a bridge that was blown up shortly beforehand with the loss of seven lives, with dozens of others injured. the other episode in the kursk region seems to have involved a freight train, which collapsed as it was passing over a bridge. we don't have details

on the number of casualties there but both of these incidents occurred within a short time and not surprisingly, russian officials were pretty quick to blame this on ukrainian sabotage. now it is well known that the ukrainians have mounted all sorts of covert operations across the border inside russia since the full-scale russian invasion of ukraine in 2022. but typically, the ukrainians do not comment on such operations and so we have not had any word today from here in kyiv to suggest any sense of responsibility. although, the ukrainian military intelligence did put out a statement about another episode involving a russian military freight train that was travelling in occupied southern ukraine, which was derailed. the clear implication being that ukraine was responsible for that. paul adams there.

several hundred migrants crossed the english channel in small boats yesterday. one estimate put the total arriving at around 1,000 - which would be the highest daily total so far this year. at least six boats left france for the uk. the home office will confirm the figure later this morning. a waltz, which has become synonymous with space travel, the blue danube, has been broadcast into space. during the performance last night, the waltz was sent into deep space at the speed of light from the european space agency antenna. it was part of a series of events being held to mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of the composer johann strauss. the body of a british hiker missing in the dolomites in northern italy since new year's day has now been found. 36-year-old aziz ziriat had been hiking in the dolomotes with his friend sam harris, whose body was found around a kilometre away soon after they were reported missing.
